http://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=3347Many of our daily activities affect the environment, from our consumption of natural resources to our disposal of household waste. One of the most important is our generation of carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping gas that is a significant contributor to climate change. Since the beginning of industrial times, there has been a marked increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, mainly as a result of human activities. For example, the burning of fossil fuels for home heating, transportation, and electricity production generates a large percentage of our personal carbon dioxide emissions.Tue, 12 Apr 2011 03:59:32 -0400Renewable Energy Plants in Your Gas Tank: From Photosynthesis to Ethanolhttp://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=3330
http://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=3330With ethanol becoming more prevalent in the media and in gas tanks, it is important for students to know where it comes from. This module uses a series of four activities to show how energy and mass are converted from one form to another. It focuses on the conversion of light energy into chemical energy via photosynthesis, then goes on to show how the chemical energy in plant sugars can be fermented to produce ethanol. Finally, the reasons for using ethanol as a fuel are discussed.Tue, 12 Apr 2011 03:27:27 -0400Energy Education Resourceshttp://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=5813
